He is leaning forward in the seat now, his hands clasped together with concern.
I swallow. The saliva feels thick and hard to manage as my breathing starts to escalate.
His questions are exactly why I'm panicking about this feeling.
"Exactly!" I shout before I take a deep breath.
"I didn't have a chance to tell Pru any of this. She and Noah were panicking about the entire thing. They both seem worried. Maybe even scared," I say, feeling the anxiety within me increasing with each passing word.
Raph stands up and pulls me into his embrace, his fingers tracing every inch of exposed skin.
He is calming me with his touch and smell, enveloping me in the safety of our bond.
"Awh mate, should I start calling you my little spooky fucker?" he says before he bursts out laughing.
"Wow, that sounded so much better in my head," he admits, making me smile.
Noah comes in shortly after.
